Non-reciprocal topological solitons in active metamaterials

J Veenstra, O Gamayun, X Guo, A Sarvi, CV Meinersen… - Nature, 2024 - nature.com
From protein motifs to black holes, topological solitons are pervasive nonlinear excitations
that are robust and can be driven by external fields. So far, existing driving mechanisms all …

Geometric control and memory in networks of bistable elements

D Shohat, M van Hecke - arxiv preprint arxiv:2409.07804, 2024 - arxiv.org
The sequential response of driven frustrated media encodes memory effects and hidden
computational capabilities. While abstract hysteron models can capture these effects, they …

[PDF][PDF] Balloon Avalanche Hysteria

G Muhaxheri, CD Santangelo - arxiv preprint arxiv:2403.10721, 2024 - condmatjclub.org
Hysteresis is well understood for instance in ferromagnets, where the magnetization does
not depend only on the magnetic field, but also on its history (the word history comes from a …
